Season 1 DVD Sales were low - Season 2 and up were much better seasons!

I was wondering how Season 1 DVD's were selling. I would really like to see Seasons and higher. Like Night Court and other well-known shows, the first season or two are not as good as later seasons. It is therefore no surprise that other seasons of this show as well as other famous tv shows are not released because the producers of the DVD's are hesitant to release them and thus not make enough in profits. I think these producers are foolish since the shows do extremely well in ratings after their first seasons. Take Seinfeld, Cheers, Family Ties, Night Court among others as examples back when those shows were on network TV. Season 1 is usually the season when all the kinks are worked out. If I am correct, Markie Post joined The Fall Guy in Season 2, and that worked out very well for the show for many seasons thereafter until the final season when she moved to Night Court where she was replaced by the maid, Anabelle, from Different Strokes.

I know I hate seeing other series Like Knight Rider, Hawaii 5 0 get pump out season after season, and we are still waiting on season 2 of the Fall Guy??

I worked on the first episode of The Fall Guy, guest star was Henry Gibson

The Studio, 20th Century Fox did not think the show would survive the first season

It goes to show The Fat Cats in the suits, don't know much.

After 112 episodes, the show had run its course.

I want the whole series of this. I don't want to buy season 1 of the series, if there's not gonna be anymore seasons released. There are bootlegs available of the entire series, but very few people have the whole series so whoever has it charges very high prices.
